    New Build using some existing parts

    1. Thank you lehtv for the response. My PS is about 4-5 years old and I don't have a lot of hours on it. The past couple of years I'm maybe turning that PC on for 4 hours a night max if that. Its not nearing its 100,000 hour lifespan. 2. The case is an Ultra Aluminus Case. 3. I like the sound...

    Hi brilliant people of AnandTech forms, I'm building a new PC with in the next week or so as my ~7-year-old PC's MB is dying. I mostly do development work, data analytics and some gaming (Diablo 3, SC2). I stopped by Microcenter, and have now decided to go with a i7 7700k considering its $300...

    MSI Nvidia GTX 650Ti Boost 2GB Twin Frozer...$119.99 ar!!

    Just a heads up, I had issues with this card and the RAMed version too. The drivers would crash often in my system even after a clean install of windows. I ended up with an Asus card instead that is working flawlessly.

    Denon AVR-E400 $317 free shipping

    Some food for thought, from experience having had a Denon blow and replacing it with Onkyo. The Denon sounded so much better in the exact same setup.

    I've gotten the 1gb version RMAed twice now and the card keeps crashing on me. I ended up having to returning it. It could have been my PC but I've tried it in other PCs and the same issue occurred.

    Hello sgtrobo, did you end up picking up a widi device? I just purchased a new laptop that has built in widi and was hoping to find an adapter for my TV. Most of the reviews on Amazon sound like the devices don't really work.

    Nifty! Skype Mikie for Ipod Touch 4.05 Freeship

    I have a similar one that doesn't bend and it works pretty well. Just annoying trying to figure out what people are saying on Skype. Just use your headphones either way you have to carry something around and they have a mic built-in.

    New I7-860 Build

    Thats the dilemma I have had, the 930 or the 860. So many good arguments for both sides. Also I did the math on for the PSU and there is no way I need anything over 600 watt. I don't plan on putting two high-end video cards in the system. Also wouldn't it affect the efficiency of the PSU if you...

    Dell 24in 1080p Monitor - $189

    I purchased one for my uncle about a month ago and it looks great. Didn't give him or me any issues. Granted he just uses for everyday use such as web and spread sheets. Some times even watches a movie sitting on couch in his office roughly 10 feet away. But he did mention that he wished it was...

    Help me decide 1156 (i7 860) or 1366 (i7 920)

    I am leaning now more toward the 930 as there seems to be more advantage to socket 1366. I don't build a new PC often (my current box is at least 8 years old) so money isn't a huge issue this time around. Still I'm keeping it kind of conservative as I simply don't need top of the line power and...

    Help me decide 1156 (i7 860) or 1366 (i7 920)

    Thanks for your advice keypox, that's kind of what I was looking for. I am going to stick with i860 p55 though, going either gigabit or asus. However I will check the site for tutorials to see which board will work better since it's a toss-up for me now.

    EverQuest Starter Pack on Steam- $2.50

    you could always check out the emulator. you still need a copy of the game but play free. http://www.eqemulator.org/ This thing allowed me to kick my addiction to eq back in the day because you can run your own server and do anything.

    Help me decide 1156 (i7 860) or 1366 (i7 920)

    It looks like Microcenter sells the 930 for $229.99. which is exactly how much the 860 costs. So with this in mind would it be wise then to go with the 930?

    Help me decide 1156 (i7 860) or 1366 (i7 920)

    I'm not looking for a mac just have the os as a novelty that is all. Thats what I'm saying is that I don't care about over clocking so the 860 would be the better choice. However I like your self am leaning more toward socket 1366 and the x58 chipset. However performance and feature wise will...

    Help me decide 1156 (i7 860) or 1366 (i7 920)

    So I'm ready to build/upgrade my current system and am kind of in a bind trying to figure out which path to go. I really like what the i7 860 has to offer however the motherboard features don't seem as future proof as 1366 boards. I like the idea of having usb 3 and sata 6 ready to go when...

    Card upgrade advice
